Carelessness leads to failure: Lee Sedol loses in first round of man vs. machine match

Who would have thought that the first round of the world-renowned man-machine battle ended with Lee Sedol's defeat. Before the game, Lee Sedol said that the robot ALPHA's chess skills were equivalent to the level of a three-dan chess player, and he predicted that he would defeat his opponent with a score of 5:0 or 4:1.

Many professionals also agreed that Alphago was not strong enough to challenge Lee Sedol. But after the game, the commentary room was completely silent, and even the guest commentator, Mike Raymond, was a little speechless.

Regardless, the outcome of the first game was already determined. Li Zhe believes that the Google Go program did not show its ability to completely crush humans in this game, and its style was difficult to judge. Most commentators also tend to believe that the failure was due to Lee Sedol's imbalance in offense and defense and his misjudgment. Of course, through this game, the entire Go community and even the entire human society have witnessed the power of artificial intelligence.

In fact, after Black 83's double flying swallow, Lee Sedol gradually moved towards victory. After the black pieces above were completely alive, the professional masters basically sentenced AlphaGo to "death". Many professional and amateur players who watched the game said that AlphaGo's strength was indeed unexpected, but it did not have the ability to compete with professional masters, especially masters of Lee Sedol's level.

However, the plot soon took a big turn. Lee Sedol made a series of big mistakes in the endgame. First, he made weak moves on the right side, allowing AlphaGo to grab the super big chess of White 116, and then Black 123 did not guard the corner, losing more than ten points! In the end, he had no choice but to admit defeat and surrender.

Of course, the outcome of one game does not mean anything. It is inevitable for humans to make mistakes. We will continue to observe the progress of this man-machine battle. I believe that after five games, it will be clear who is stronger in the man-machine battle.
